MindsDB Releases 'SetFree', an Open-Source Tool Decoupling CLI and LLM Model Selection

SetFree, developed by MindsDB, is a tool designed to resolve the issue of specific AI CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex being tied to specific LLM providers or authentication methods. This tool allows users to keep their preferred CLI while freely connecting to various LLMs such as MindsHub-Air (free), Muse Spark, GLM, and Deepseek.

Key Features and Usage

• Installation and Execution: Install via curl or irm scripts; it is provided as a single binary with no dependencies. Run with the format setfree <cli_name> [args], where subsequent arguments are passed directly to the corresponding CLI.
• Supported Targets: Currently supports Claude Code, Codex, VSCode, Hermes Agent, and others.
• Configuration Management: Use the setfree config command to interactively configure gateway settings, or prioritize environment variables (SETFREE_BASE_URL, SETFREE_API_KEY, etc.).

Extensibility

Adding new CLI adapters is straightforward. Create a new adapter in the internal/adapters/ directory, implement the Adapter interface, and register it. Existing adapter code is written in less than 60 lines, making extension easy. The project is released under the MIT license.
